Short Cervix - How far did you get???

Question

Hi guys!
PLEASE HELP! I’m curious to hear if anyone is going through something similar... 
I went into hospital NYE with an immeasurable cervix, funnelling and effacement at 27+5 weeks. I wasn’t having any contractions or other labour symptoms other than some spotting. They kept me in hospital for a week and now I’m staying down the road at RMH due to our distance from the hospital. Currently just about 30 weeks and have a check up tomorrow to see how things are doing. They didn’t do a cerclage because the cervix was too short... So just on progesterone suppositories and bed rest. 
Is anyone going through the same thing? Or if you’ve experienced, how far did you get before you delivered?

Answer

How are you and baby doing? I’m 23weeks and have funneling too. Today dr says slightly dilated and cervix is soft. I’m quite nervous being so early

Answer

I was 1cm thickness at 24 weeks. I got a pessary (silicone/plastic ring to hold the cervix closed without surgery) and started taking progesterone supplements. Yesterday was 37 weeks and I got the pessary removed because now baby wouldn’t be premature anymore. Cervix was at 0.5cm thickness and 1.5cm dilation, and doctor said I could end up going all the way to 40 weeks like this.

Answer

I was told I had a short cervix at 28 weeks I think it was 1.9cm?? I dont remember exactly. I had what I thought were Braxton Hicks before that but they were actually effective contractions. I stayed in the hospital from 30 weeks to 34 weeks. I was a 3cm dialated until 33+6 when I moved up to a 4cm and was induced because of increasing infection risk and fetal stress. Delivered at 34 weeks exactly.
